One has to go beyond the mind to experience the spiritual bliss of desirelessness.

I love everybody. Each one plays the role they have to play, but in the spiritual arena there are people who are even closer to me than that.

All religions are equal to me. And all castes and creeds are dear to me. But though I appreciate all `isms,' religions and political parties for the many good things they seek to achieve, I do not and cannot belong to any of these `isms,' religions or political parties, for the Absolute Truth, while equally including them, transcends all of them and leaves no room for separative divisions which are all equally false.

The objective of spiritual advancement is not so much 'works' but the quality of life free from ego-consciousness.

The best way to cleanse the heart and prepare for the stilling of the mind is to lead a normal, worldly life. Living in the midst of your day-to-day duties, responsibilities, likes, dislikes, etc., will help you. All these become the very means for the purification of your heart.
